Welcome to Canalside Community Bees! We are a cooperative bee club, or a honey CSA (Community Supported Apiculture!). Members of Canalside Community Bees invest at the start of the year to buy the required equipment. Through the year members get involved in managing the bees, building hives, planting bee friendly flora, harvesting honey and making use of hive products. Honey share members pay extra to get a share of the honey at harvest time.
We keep our bees on the site of Canalside Community Food (www.canalsidecommunityfood.org.uk/), a Community Supported Agriculture project just outside Leamington Spa. We are starting out this year (2012) with 4 hives and hope to expand as soon as the season gets going.

Bees and flowers
"For to the bee the flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower the bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and receiving is a need and an ecstacy". From Kahlil Gibran The Prophet
